It is the true story of the spill of a container of Nike shoes into the Pacific Ocean. The program sets up the story of the shoe spill and encourages initial predictions. Next, the concept of wind-driven ocean currents is explored. Using the wind-driven ocean currents dataset on the SOS, visitors then refine their predictions. Finally, the actual locations where the shoes were found is revealed. #> #> **Note: #> - Lines that begin with ">>" and bracketed text denote presenter instructions. #> - "(Q?)" denotes discussion questions. #> #>---(1) Title Screen--- #> #>Welcome to _____________. My name is ______. Today, we'll be working together to solve the mystery of the 1990 Nike Shoe Spill using scientific data and our Science on a Sphere. Science on a Sphere was developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The image you see is projected from four projectors [Presenter points towards the projection towers.] The sphere its self is a six-foot diameter carbon fiber sphere. [Pause here for any questions about the SOS.] #> #>And now, let's get started with the mystery of the Nike Shoe Spill. #> #>---(2) Introduction PIP--- #> #>>>Clip narration (Audio File, you don't need to read) #> #>>>"Go with the flow, the story of the Hansa Carrier's lost shoes. In 1990, over 4 billion tons of cargo was moved by container ships worldwide. This figure is now closer to 7 billion. The ships that carry this cargo are huge, some longer than the height of the Empire State Building. Most cargo is packed in standard-sized shipping containers that measure 20 ft long by 8 ft wide. There are 5-6 million of these in transit over the sea in any given moment. Not all of these containers make it to their destination. This is the story of four that were lost. In the spring of 1990, a South Korean carrier called the Hansa left portbound for the US. On May 27, in the North Central Pacific, the Hansa Carrier was over taken by a huge storm. A large wave knocked four containers overboard. These containers broke open in the seas and released 60 thousand Nike tennis shoes held within." #> #>>>The clip ends with the question "What do you think happened to the shoes?" written on the SOS. #> #>(Q?) What do you think? What is your initial guess about where the shoes will end up? Why? #> #>---(3) Blank Map with Ship--- #> #>>>Presenter picks a few volunteers from the audience to share what they think and why. If possible, use any mention of wind as a factor to transition to the next point. Presenter: One of the factors that impacts what will happen to the shoes is the wind blowing over the surface of the ocean. Join me over here at the demonstration table to find out more about what effects wind has on water. #> #>>>Turn on the light on the demonstration table. #> #>(Q?) What impact does wind blowing over the surface have on water? Who wants to volunteer to find out? #>>>Coach volunteers to blow across the surface of the water as opposed to down into it if necessary. #> #>(Q?) What do you notice about how the water is moving? #>>>Give visitors a chance to share ideas #>Now I'm going to add the shoes... #>>>Add pepper to the surface of the water. #>(Q?) What do you notice about how the shoes are moving? What happens when a shoe reaches one of the rocks? #>>>Give visitors a chance to share ideas. Ask follow up questions as appropriate for clarification. #> #>Let's move back to the sphere now and see what's happening in the ocean. #>Turn off demo table light, move back to SOS. #> #>---(4) Summer Trade Winds--- #> #>This data set shows the director of the trade winds, the primary winds responsible for creating currents, during the spring and summer. Take a look at the position of the ship during the spill, and think about your original predictions for where the shoes would end up. #> #>---(5) Trade Winds over NASA Sea Currents--- #> #>Now, let's take a look at how those winds impact the ocean. The wind doesn't bulldoze the surface of the water quite the way that the straw in our demo suggested. There are actually several factors including wind, gravity, the rotation of the earth, and temperature that all come together to form currents. You can see that there is not an exact match between the trade wind pattern and the ocean's surface currents modeled here. #> #>---(6) NASA Sea Currents--- #> #>The yellow and green sections are places where the water is moving faster than the surround water, or the ocean currents. #>(Q?) What do you notice in this dataset? #>>>Pause to give visitors a chance to examine the dataset. #>The NASA Sea Currents model shows a number of interesting features to ocean currents. The two most frequently noticed features are: The circular eddies that appear where water is moving around land – particularly in the pointed ends of Africa and South America. The gulf stream – a strong current of water moving from the Gulf of Mexico up the eastern seaboard of the United States. #> #>--(7) Animated Wind Driven Currents--- #> #>Okay, so now let's take a look at a more simplified map of the major currents and revise our predictions about where the shoes might have washed ashore. #> #>This dataset shows the main ocean currents in the Pacific. #>(Q?) Where do you think the shoes will end up now? #>>>Take a minute and discuss your ideas with the people around you. #> #>---(8) Wind Driven Currents with Cities--- #>***TEXTURE TOO LARGE FOR SOS*** must be resized to 4096x2048 #> #>(Q?) Ready to share your ideas? Where do you think the shoes ended up? #> #>>>Give visitors a chance to share their ideas. Encourage visitors to expand their answers from just the city name to include why they think that the shoes will end up in the location that they have chosen. You can hand a laser pointer to the visitors to have them show you what they think will happen if you choose or encourage them to use the labeled current names to explain what currents they think are carrying the shoes. #> #>Okay, ready to see what happened? #> #>---(9) Shoe Spill Results--- #> #>>>Congratulate/commiserate with visitors about the results of their prediction vs what actually happened. Ask if the visitors have any comments or questions. #> #>---(10) Credit Screen--- #> #>Thanks for working with me to solve the mystery of the shoe spill! The sphere will now be returned to its regular programming. I'll be over here by the presenter's table to answer any further questions that you may have. #> #>
